HanDBase to be the first cross platform handheld database manager
that enables Palms and Pocket PCs to exchange data without a desktop or
third party software.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (March 14, 2001)...DDH Software, Inc. today
announced that a new version of its HanDBase relational database
application is now available to owners of handheld computers based on
the Microsoft Pocket PC platform. Pocket PC users can now manage their
information in a fully functional relational database, including the
ability to create and maintain databases on both the desktop PC and
handheld computer. For more than two years, DDH Software's HanDBase
database application has enabled owners of Palm® OS-based handheld
organizers to collect, edit and manage information while away from their
personal computers, earning prestigious recognition such as Handheld
Computing Magazine's "Database of the Year" award along the way. Now,
users of Pocket PCs can enjoy the same breadth of database functionality
for which Palm users have grown accustomed. "HanDBase gives Pocket PC
users an extremely powerful relational database application," said Phil
Holden, director of marketing for the mobile devices division at
Microsoft Corp. " We feel HanDBase's powerful relational features and
its easy-to-use- interface will make it a popular choice among Pocket PC
enthusiasts and, when combined with Pocket Excel and Pocket Word, it
delivers a portable office solution designed to make users even more
productive while on-the-go." Another milestone in the handheld computing
industry has been achieved with the release of HanDBase for Pocket PC
devices. For the first time, a handheld computing application offers
versions for devices of both Pocket PC and Palm operating systems,
allowing users of either system to exchange data via their devices'
infrared ports without the aid of a desktop or third-party application.
For example, a Pocket PC-equipped physician leaving the hospital can
beam a patient list to a Palm-equipped physician going on call. "Just
because an individual or company chooses one type of device over the
other shouldn't mean that they are unable to exchange information with
users of a different handheld operating system," said David Haupert, DDH
Software's president and CEO. "Providing HanDBase as a cross platform
solution breaks down a major barrier that has separated Pocket PC users
and Palm users. Within many companies there are users of both types of
devices who will now be able to beam their data back and forth, creating
a much more efficient workplace." Beyond its full-featured editing and
design capabilities, HanDBase desktop allows users to export files in
Excel, Word, CSV, HTML or XML formats. Another feature of HanDBase
Desktop that increases its user-friendliness is its "plug-in
architecture" for third party add-on applications. For example, a user
can automate repetitive tasks such as exporting, importing, running
external programs, or seamlessly moving data between HanDBase and other
formats such as Microsoft Access, and other ODBC sources HanDBase for
Pocket PC will retail for US$24.99 and is available at the company's Web
site, www.ddhsoftware.com, plus
online retailers such as Handango.com
and
PocketGear.com.
